How to change url from http to https

Berryman

I am quite new to php and am trying to find a script that will automatically change the url on a dynamically generated page from http to https.

For example, I might have a web page called story.php which is basically just a template design and generates its actual content from a MySQL database.

So, any number of pages can be generated:

e.g.
http://www.example.com/story.php?page_select=32&&select=447
http://www.example.com/story.php?page_select=43&&select=449

What I need to happen is for the url of these pages to automatically change to:

https://secure.example.com/story.php?page_select=32&&select=447
https://secure.example.com/story.php?page_select=43&&select=449

I only want pages using story.php to do this, the rest of my site would not need to be secure.

I'm guessing an include or php script in the header of story.php might do the trick rather than something in a .htaccess file? Any ideas would be much appreciated.

story.php

// using http, redirect
if (!empty($_SERVER['https'])) {
	header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');	// Stop indexing http:// pages
	header('Location: https://secure.example.com/story.php?'.$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
}

or you could use mod_rewrite if its on an Apache server.

}

Shouldn't that be empty() instead of !empty()? Also, I believe the array key should be upper-case:

if(empty($_SERVER['HTTPS'])) {

Also, in case it's running under ISAPI on IIS:

if(empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) or $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 'off') {

You're right on both accounts.

Hi,

I am creating a client for remote web service in apache based php module. The service redirects the wsdl link from http to https, i.e. if i have the wsdl link as:
http://172.166.145.211/webservice/wsdl/Webservice.wsdl, it is redirected to;
https://172.166.145.211:8443/webservice/wsdl/Webservice.wsdl.
Before redirecting, server ask for the certification compliance on the browser. The web service can be accessed using SOAP tools also, but I have to give the secured (https) url.
Now, in php script, i'm using CURL and OpenSSL to do this. I have tried all ways of configurations present on the net, but neither i'm able to enable cURL and OpenSSL, nor able to contact the web service.

Kindly help me as my project is stuck at this point 🙁 ...

Thanks in advance,
Ayush Mathur
